Text for the Day -- Zechariah 3:1-5
----------
Then he showed me the high priest Joshua standing before the angel of
the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the
LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has
chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked from the
fire?" Now Joshua was dressed with filthy clothes as he stood before
the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him,
"Take off his filthy clothes." And to him he said, "See, I have taken
your guilt away from you, and I will clothe you with festal apparel."
And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a
clean turban on his head and clothed him with the apparel; and the
angel of the LORD was standing by.
Devotional
----------
Satan, the Accuser, attacks the high priest of Israel before God in a
vision of the prophet. The Lord rebukes Satan. God had chosen Joshua
to be the high priest and in the vision clothes him in new clothes to
symbolize his cleansing and renewal as a servant of God. God does
pluck us from the fire and renew us in Christ so that we can stand
before God and serve.
Prayer

Thank you for plucking me from the fire of destruction, Lord. Amen
